Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

After you practice I want visual proof. Something along these lines...

Good Lord. Thanks for posting that; it's mighty impressive.
"Never had a TV". That'll be the reason his eyes are so good.



No sir they don't...

Morning Guardians, it's Friday at least.

Yeah! Cool photo David, I hope you've got the weekend off

Aye I've got the weekend off. Probably off on a walk actually. Hope you've got some decent plans yourself.
I'm going to have to start reading comics; they seem pretty popular round here.

That's good mate, hope you have a decent walk. I'm hoping to get out around Knaresborough, but it's likely to be muddy with all the rain of the last 24 hours

I got back into comics in the late 80's/early 90's, there were some great ones around then, but I only read them rarely now - I have so many books lined up to read!

 

[5K Qs]

Still can’t decide which I like more, so some days I carry both.

Bonus!

Astounding pairs of lambsfoots! May all of your problems in life be as pleasant as deciding which WCLF to carry!

Well, since we seem to have a theme going...

Picking a random slingshot photo as representative of the many showing up here! Good-looking stag HHB, Mike, and a couple of amazing projectile launchers!

...

Splendid Guardians ebony lambsfoot, José!

Heady days GT! It's great to see your Cracker Jack my friend

I always enjoy our exchanges Gary, and it's always a pleasure to see Union Jack
...

Thanks for the encouragement, Jack.

...
I need an emoticon of a cane banging on the floor.

My Purina Chows cane is a great favorite. Slim and tapered, yet stout enough for support and remonstrance, with facets for emphasis.

I have several oak branches that I'm working on, very slowly, in hopes of coming up with at least one good cane. I haven't felt a lot of urgency for the project since I don't really need the support yet. But I hadn't considered using a cane for "remonstrance"! That's a use that could have immediate impact!

You must be from Michigan!

Guilty, as charged!

I'm from Michigan, and I like the Packers.
It would be pretty depressing to root only for the Lions.

Touché! (I just noticed, for the first time in 68 years, that the French word contains "Ouch", also an appropriate response to Jer's remark.)

...
Great picture and great knife, GT.
...

Good Morning Guardians

Thanks, John.
Your Big Bad Wolf lurking among the tender succulents is quite a contrast!

...
Just doing some fine-tuning If those zombies are made of cardboard, they're going DOWN!

...

First-rate photo showing off the superb stag on the pile side of your Hartshead Barlow, Jack!

...
You are probably right, GT. I guess I should let Jake live a little before I go trying to marry him off.
UJ is lookin' good , sitting on the dock of the bay.

Thanks, FBC,; UJ totally digs OR!
Good old Jake
Wants to bake
Apple cake!

...
I didn't know Purina sold canes. (advertising giveaway?) Looks like a good one.


... So the store is full of "professional shoppers" It seems that while Millennials will stand in line for hours to get into the most popular bars and restaurants, they hate shopping. Okay, it's official, I need one of those canes, just to bang on the ground whilst I rant and grumble.

For anyone who thinks their ebony isn't dark enough, just add a little brisket and sausage grease. The pickles and onions are good for patina, too.

IIRC, we had several similar canes around the dairy farm when I was a lad, and I think they were gifts from the local grain elevator promoting animal feed of one kind or another (maybe even including Purina). The canes were intended to facilitate "herding" your livestock of whatever type: the curve on one end was akin to a shepherd's crook, and the straight end could be used for prodding recalcitrant beasts, encouraging them to move in desired directions, and occasional gentle whacking!

My usual grocery store has a lot of green-shirted pro shoppers these days, too.

That ebony lamb on the plate of delicacies reminds me I haven't had breakfast yet!

...
Maybe if enough of us bang our sticks on the ground in unison, we can change the world!
Oops

And oops on the camera shake.

Undoubtedly caused by all the canes banging on the ground!

That wouldn't work for me. I don't know I want it until I see it.

My first smartphone and first smartphone holster. I tried to clean the wrong side of the screen protector. But I can still see through the fuzz.

My wife shops using the approach Jer describes, while I slavishly stick to my list, buying all, and only, items on the list we've constructed over the week.
Congrats on the smartphone! That's a step I still haven't taken; but give me 5-10 minutes, and I'm sure I can fine my dumb cell phone somewhere in my backpack!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. I can feel the Sun that your Union Jack is basking in.

This GEC 15 Navy was expertly modded into a Lamb Foot EO by @traumkommode.

Thanks, Harvey; one unexpected benefit of this knife hobby is I have many summer photos I can enjoy in the dead of winter (just as ED does in the following quote).
That lambsfoot mod is a winner!

It snowed a good 8" last night. The wind was howling and the drifts are huge in some places on the property. I only shoveled the sidewalks and didn't plow any snow as another storm is coming and will dump another 8" or so tomorrow. Happy days!!!! After all that, I needed pleasant thoughts so I'm posting my picture of my "Big-un" with Buffalo Horn covers taken in the balmy sunshine with sea shells.

Warms the cockleshells of my heart, ED!

Lockwood Brothers, the older lambsfoot have a certain charm

Mike

Definitely a charming example, Mike!

A pair of aces, José!

...
Another stray left on my street

Jack, is your REAL address The Island of Misfit Toys??

...
Thanks, Gary for the nice words. Centering the blades was easier than expected although a bit unnerving whacking it with a hammer but everything went fine.
...

I admire your courage, and the fine result!

What looks like streaks in the wood near the center pin are reflections of my arms while taking the pic.

Handsome knife, Mark! What are all the "squiggly white threads" in the pic? Some kind of spider web?

...
It did thanks John, though, as with other dentists I've had in recent years, the young lass I saw seemed mildly disturbed by how relaxed I was! I don't mind going to the dentist, and could fall asleep in the chair
...

My dental demeanor is diametrically opposed to yours, Jack! My muscles are tensed the entire time I'm in the chair (or on the rack, as I prefer to think of it ) as I wait for the inevitable touch of cold steel on raw root of tooth! I also occasionally beat on the arm of the chair while my mouth is full of someone's hands, trying to convey that I'm about to drown in my own saliva if they don't let me swallow NOW!! I leave a dental appointment far more exhausted than I ever am after an hour of full-court basketball!

Just arrived. So thankful to get an AC back!

Thanks @Campbellclanman Duncan’

Congrats, Joshua; like all the ACs, that is a lovely stag lambsfoot! Like many of the ACs, the stag is quite different on the two sides; each side is classy, but I think my initial reaction personal preference is for the "toastier" pile side!

I carry lambsfoots...

...because they're Fantastic!

How 'bout you?

That's great, Vince!
I'm not very familiar with the world of superhero comics. Is there something out there that would let me show off my 6 lambsfoots to similar effect? Maybe "Stupendous Six" or "Heavenly Half-Dozen"???

...
A couple of fantastic photos Gary!!
The bottom photo, is that stone a metate??
...
I carry a Lambsfoot....

....Because alien robots!

Cool futuristic shot of your oxhorn (not "osborn", darn spell checker ), Dennis!
Thanks for the compliments on my pics. The "stone" to which you refer is the top of a hand pump (you can see the spout to the left) attached to the "fish cleaning table" on the dock at the cottage rental place we stay each summer for a week or two. Pretty sure it's black-painted steel (or cast iron?). Here's another pic of Union Jack at the base of the pump where it bolts to the table:


And since Union Jack is my lambsfoot this week, here's a bonus shot of his pile side, with a friend. Makes one wonder who's guarding whom!

[screened porch]

That's a use that could have immediate impact!

Oh,yeah.
Dad used to take this one along when walking the dog. The knob already had lead in it when he bought it, probably at the flea market. Must be for making it easier to carve your initials in it, huh?

 

[JohnDF]

Zorro carries a lambsfoot

I bet Zorro could cut some Zs with that Lambsfoot.

I see what you did there!
Lovely shot, John!

Thank you, Dennis.
That video had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Probably because I have way too many of those things in my life.
I guess I'm white and nerdy... but in my defense, my son is WAY worse than I am.

Schoolboard Meetings!

That's will make a Super desktop wallpaper at work.

That was actually a pretty good re-imagining...
I mean... Oh hey, look at that! a Soviet Super man!!! I'm shocked!!!

Edit: Oh, hey! 1000 posts

Congrats.

I always got a kick out of visiting Bizzaro World, until I realized I’m living in one.

How right you are.

looks like it's wet there

Yes. Weirdly enough Skoll kept running out into the rain like it felt at home.

Supermanski!

That's funny!!!

I think I might be coming down with a cold, hoping I can shrug it off

Oh no!!! I hope it will be mild and not drag you down for the weekend. Eat some soup.

They seem to have a magazine for everything.

Great picture, Jack.
I see your Hartshead has joined the battle.

Your Big Bad Wolf lurking among the tender succulents is quite a contrast!

I had to lure him out for that picture. He was hiding inside waiting for unsuspecting prey.

Jack, is your REAL address The Island of Misfit Toys??

That picture is adorable. I've got to get me one of those sheep. I'll keep him away from Skoll.

Thanks GT! I like the pile side as well, but it is fun to have both options, isn't it.

Eating healthy today. The HHB makes short work of this Gala apple.

Astounding pairs of lambsfoots! May all of your problems in life be as pleasant as deciding which WCLF to carry!

Thanks buddy

Jack, is your REAL address The Island of Misfit Toys??

You'd think so wouldn't you Gary?! I don't know if it's anything to do with the fact there's a nursery on my street, and several more close by, but I don't remember seeing so many abandoned soft toys until recently. The tiger on my roof is another matter, I've no idea how that came to be lodged up there, but with some effort, and the help of a long pole, I've just managed to turf it off

That sounds unpleasant GT I don't think I'd last an hour on the basketball court these days!

Cool pics

Thanks John, I had a large bowl of Vietnamese Pho with my pal, lots of garlic, ginger, and chilli, so that should help, hopefully

I miss the days when there were shops here which just sold magazines, and there were thousands of them, aimed at lovers of every pastime and pursuit. I used to freelance for a lot of different magazines, but most are gone now, and many others are subscription only

Thanks mate, yes indeed...

Good Morning and TGIF Guardians

There was a group of super villains in Spider-Man comics in the 1960's called "The Sinister Six"!

I find that quite amusing... You should make a coffee table book of stuffed animals and lambsfoot knives.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side... And a lambsfoot in your pocket

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Cool slingshot and razor. Never really into slingshots, but there was a time as a young lad, where I might have improvised with a thick rubber band and a bunch of wadded paper spitballs as projectiles. Fun times.

5K Qs - Thank you GT. The pile side looks equally nice.

JohnDF - Thank you John . Looks like a perfect Lamb for Friday’s. Any day, actually.

Modoc ED - Best thoughts and wishes on your medical visit.

Good Afternoon Guardians.
